I would really appreciate a URL to a fairly high resolution map of Magee that I can print that has each of the numbered locations on it. I have only been there twice and occasionally notice some numbers imbedded in the top rail, but other than that I have no clue what you Ohio locals are talking about. I guess I am normally looking outward... :) To avoid clutter and multiplication, please copy the list on the first reply. Thanks! "Dr. Bob" Setzer, Oakland County, Michigan p.s., I just thought about this. Would it not be great if Google could someday be allowed and coaxed into driving an all terrain vehicle along the boardwalk taking 360-degree pics at each numbered spot. (Obviously this would occur sometime other than an active birding time!) Then I would know exactly where I was just from having "looked around" on the internet from home! Hey the technology exists!!! They have done this in many major cities and neighborhoods; it is actually possible! OK, yes this sounds weird. For you in Ohio - I just joined your list last week - you do not yet know I ramble and fantasize, but I really think this is a possibility in which the Google team might just be interested. I doubt they have ever mounted their 360-degree equipment on an ATV! Sounds like techie heaven for me - especially if they have any birders or nature lovers on their staff! I suspect they would bear all expenses just to get to do it! The only downside might be increased visitation beyond the thousands of birders already expected this weekend. Anyway, I really do want the URL before I go back next week, so someone please reply. Thanks!!! -----Original Message----- From: Ohio birds [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Witter, Jim Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 12:36 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [Ohio-birds] Magee Marsh update 5-6 Hi folks, As mentioned by Kenn Kaufman yesterday, there is a good variety of warbler species here at the Magee Marsh boardwalk. During the couple hours I was leading a group this morning, highlights were a Kentucky warbler on the north side of the boardwalk near #7A (prompting one of those patented Magee Marsh birder stampedes), good looks at a Hooded warbler on the south side near #7, and a Prothonotary warbler on the south side near #17B. Every bird was exciting to the group, and it is always heartening to see the joy on rookie and veteran birdwatchers faces as they see the warblers passing through.
